GERALD CELENTE: CURRENCY & GOLD WARS NOW. GOLD PRICE IS RIGGED! (ARCHIVES)
Here are a few famous lines from some motion pictures that could very well be uttered prior to and during the economic collapse:
"Be afraid. Be very afraid." "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" "What a dump." Well, you get the picture. If one were to ask those who predicted the economic collapse in 2007/2008 if the worst is over, it would be pretty much a given that they would respond with a quote from the hit 1950 motion picture "All About Eve," "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!"
From enormous debt loads to rampant inflation to government incompetence, the United States is on the brink of severe economic depression. With a real national debt of $222 trillion including all unfunded liabilities and expenditures, it's surprising that no one talks about how the U.S. will eventually become a bankrupt nation -- if it isn't already.
"We've got a much bigger collapse coming, and not just of the markets but of the economy. It's like what you're seeing in Europe right now, only worse," stated Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital, in an interview with Yahoo's Breakout.
"That's when it really is going to get interesting, because that's when we hit our real fiscal cliff, when we're going to have to slash — and I mean slash — government spending. "Alternatively, we can bail everybody out, pretend we can print our way out of a crisis, and, instead, we have runaway inflation, or hyper-inflation, which is going to be far worse than the collapse we would have if we did the right thing and just let everything implode."
With that being said, there are various things a person must accomplish in order to prepare a household for the coming economic collapse. Whether it be owning precious metals, storing enough food and water, having some form of protection from perpetrators or having a basket of currencies, there are lot of ways people can make preparations while we are on the brink of disaster.
